Description
I lost my gray Nike running shoes yesterday around 3pm on Congress Street in Portland, ME, near the Eastern Promenade. They are Nike Air Zoom Structure, size 9.5, with charcoal gray uppers and a neon green swoosh. One shoe has a tiny blue thread snag on the tongue, and the other has a small coffee stain near the laces. They were a gift from my sister and have a lot of sentimental value, so I am really hoping someone picked them up and can help me get them back. If you found them, send me a message and we can figure out a meetup; I would be grateful to return the favor.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
